How To Replace The Carburetor On The ECHO PB-250 Blower | Full Video

You can pick up the carburetor and power up kit for $17 on Amazon using this link: amzn.to/38r1muW This is the carburetor replacement for the ZAMA RB-K106 not the Walbro model.

[@archiguitarchi]

Can't thank you enough. 2015 model. One item of confusion, the gasket, but I just mimicked you and BAM. Most difficult step was getting the fuel line bushing into the tan......old age and arthritis. Started on the second pull and runs like new!

[@edwhite905]

I went step by step and still managed to get the run switch backwards. So after i fixed that, put the air filter on and put the gas back in, pushed the bulb about six times and she cracked right up. Best instructive video thanks brother for taking it slow for we mechanically challenged people.

[@edwhite905]

Oh forgot, when i dumped my gas out it had trashy particles in it so i put fresh gas in it before starting

[@vanhammersley]

Thanks for this video! I've had my PB-250 sitting for over a year+, not able to get it running, primer not getting any gas, etc...and being lazy/not getting it fixed. Saw this video, picked up a cheap carb kit on Amazon, followed this step-by-step, and boom...fired right up. Save me some cash and headaches. Thank u!

[@sniffles8655]

After I changed my carburetor I still had to adjust the fuel to air mixture screw on the carb. Made a huge difference, no more bogging when the throttle is wide open. Thank you, this video was such a major help!

[@dougtennant5442]

Great video. The grommet is my biggest problem when I do this. It always takes me 15-20 minutes to fight that sob back into place.

[@FA-44]

Thank you for the video. The spark plug gap is 0.026 inches (.65 mm.)

[@johnnyboy8402]

hey man your vid is spot on. purchased the carb from amazon, followed your vid which is explained very well. Bitch fired rite up and ran for an hour like a scaled dawg! never vapor locked once like it had been doing. thanks a million! john

[@wdperry655]

Thank you for the video! Blower working for first time in probably 10 years.

[@guardian9211]

Thanks for the vid! Friend gave me this blower that their previous house owner left behind. It ran on full choke, but that's it. Who knows what the technically-exact problem was (I think it was the actual throttle on the carb), but for a $25 carb kit to replace everything it saved more than that in time spent adjusting high or low speeds, testing for leaks in the fuel or vent lines, etc. Much appreciated.

[@ultrarider2000]

Great help. Just replaced carb on PB 250LN. You info was dead on !! Adjusted mix after install and it runs better than new !! Used Hipa kit off Amazon !!

[@rc1430]

Video was very helpful. Just did mine with same parts you did. Cranked right up on first pull. Thanks again 👍

[@markgilles-ih8go]

Very informative! Kudos with the camera view!

[@Daluke61]

Just replaced a carb on an Echo SRM 211 trimmer with a similar replacement kit. Looks like my Echo PB 201 blower's pretty much the same deal as what you've got going on here.with your model. Purchased a HIPA kit for the 201 off Amazon. Cool thing is most of these kits (from several different manufacturers) include all the stuff you show here; carb, air filter, line, fuel filters, etc, all of which if purchase individually at your local Home Depot, Ace Hardware of similar retailer would cost WAY more. No, it's not OEM but for the price/performance at least for me, it's an unqualified no-brainier. Thanks to 'Fix It Now' for this very instructive video as well as Google for leading me hear, KZbin and last but not least, Amazon (you're welcome, Amazon)

[@josecardona5325]

You explained everything awesome and to the point.....easy to understand....what a teacher!!!!!! Thank you Sr😁😁👍🙏

[@peteramirez50]

Mines a goner changed the carb Spark plug Cleaned the resister Finally did a compression test it’s at 25 psi Next time is re ringing the piston found it on Amazon for $16 Total investment so far 16 for piston ring $20 for carb and lines kit , way better than paying $200 for a new one . Oh p.s the vacuum screw that allows it to open it it’s not completely engaged it won’t start so make sure the tab if fully closed .

[@mrorbit2u]

Great video. Unfortunately my blower is still turning off when it gets hot and I have to wait an hour so before it turns back on but I was able to change the carb out just fine.

[@mikek.2752]

Look between the four carb screws on side of engine. There is a plastic grommet that you need to remove to get at the adjustment screw. Use a screw or a punch to remove plastic grommet. Start engine and use a very small screw driver turn it to the left until it stops bogging. No carb needed.

[@andybecker2693]

People keep buying carbs needlessly when all they have to do is uncover the 2 adjustment screws. Not only that but replacing them with junk Chinese carbs that hardly work. All 2 cycles need carb adjustments as they age.

[@davidrasmussen2975]

@@andybecker2693 original carb is also Chinese.

[@davidalley5940]

Thanks for this. I followed along. And changed mine with you. Awesome!! 😊

Great video, here in Fl I only use none ethanol (MArine Fuel) for all my two soaks and E-Tec Outboard, never an issue with fuel, screw that Ethanol garbage.

Thanks Bud great video and this video will help me replace my carb on my blower.

[@jimbola77]

thank's for sharing there partner! I purchased the same kit from ebay dirt cheap for my pb251 and it's running like a champ 2 years no prob! just start her up once a week and let her run for a few it will help from having to repeat this process!!!

[@marshallborder9089]

Thanks going to come back to this video for the same exact carburetor replacement.

[@phunperson64]

Thank you for posting this helped me when i replaced my carb

[@rzrpap]

Good video, I just ordered one of those carbs for a friends blower he wants me to fix, hope you had good luck with yours after the new carb install. I messed with the old carb for about an hour and at least it runs now but sure not right. Watched your video and said what the heck 15 bucks it is worth a try. Thank you for posting.

[@michaelpetrus19]

Turned out to be an easy fix with this video...........thanks

[@camr9433]

Thanks for the video boss. Very helpful

[@stevehoward7401]

Fixed my pb 250 ASAP. Thanks my friend

[@danielpadgett2831]

Tip to keep your fuel lines from rotting and carb working dont leve ful in the tank especially if it has ethanol in it also run your carb and lines dry.

[@mraiman]

Thanks for the video. Very clear and well done. I did the replacement and it started once. I was unable to get it started again. It was leaking some fuel some fuel off the front by the exhaust before the repair and some after the repair. Any ideas, or is it time to buy a new one? I did have it at a shop and they said it was the carb so I bought the kit and replaced it. Thanks for any feedback.

[@reedjones6739]

Nice work. Thanks for taking the time to do this.

[@John-rx9nk]

Does the length of the clear yellow or the other black line matter. I cut the lines on the new carb to match what yours looked like and the original carb here but now it does not want to start unless i make sure the clear yellow is full of fuel?

[@bflo716]

I replaced my carb with this exact kit, checked the spark arrestor, new fresh fuel, and still can’t get it to run right. Any ideas? I played with the set screw in every position but could not get it to rev up fully, smoothly, or not bog. Hell I even checked my compression and it’s good. Any ideas?? I did check the air filter and there’s gas on it now… idk what’s going on.

[@tomcrosby6332]

Thanks for the video. I overlooked the obvious. Mine just didn't want any choke or throttle. I was flooding it to death. You see all these guys using the primer and choke. Mine didn't need it or want it. I used neither, and it started right up idling perfectly, so ???????????? All I did was clean the NGK plug, and turn up the idle 3/4 turn.

[@roykowalski4125]

Your fuel tank grommet was brand new, so I would lubricate it with a bit of oil and it will pop in easier next time

[@zoilochavez3645]

Thanks for your video. Question. Spark plug still look good. But if I turn it off and try starting it up a few minutes later It won't start. Must let sit for a while. Than it starts. Any ideas for this fixes.

[@douggurtzweiler4401]

great video changed mine today. biggest issue getting lines back into gas tank, I put a little liquid soap around fitting seemed to help. but still will not crank like it's not getting any spark?? any suggestions beside going to dealer?

Did not see you drop the fuel filter line in the tank.Did I miss something?

You're awesome. Thanks so much

[@schomminater]

I've went to using the Echo Red Armor gas. Maybe a bit pricy but I know i'm using whats designed for it. All 3 things run better on it.

[@USABizStore]

Thanks 😊

[@jonathanmarse1406]

I changed my carb with an oem echo carb. Runs great at idle and also wide open as long as the blower is sitting level. As soon as I tilt it downward ( in a using position ) it kills. I can’t figure why? Any advise is appreciated. TIA

[@milesej05]

Fuel pick up is not at the bottom of the tank.

I have the same blower and it bogs down. I cleaned the acuator and it still bogs down. I purchased the same carb on amazon and have yet to install it. Once you installed the new carb did you have any problems with the blower???

[@darrinmc]

I replaced the carb in mine and it starts, runs for about 30 seconds, then stalls. I haven't touched any of the adjustment screws on the carb. What do you suggest?

No one shows how to clean a primer base. It’s hard for me to push fuel into motor never was like that it was always easy to squeeze or push.???? Can someone help or make a video

[@antonysaavedra0797]

Guess who ,,i think you need to replace the primer piece a plastic ,, home depot they have for 3 dollar. Or get the all kit for 10 dollar i hope you can fixed

[@MrDtravers]

Thx for the video it was very helpful. I replaced mine but unfortunately it still won’t start. This is my second Echo and I won’t buy this piece of shit again. You get what you pay for!

[@SingleStacked]

That gasket you had left over goes against the air cleaner body

[@BrianGenX75]

I was thinking the same thing lol, and to be more exact it goes against the carb and then the air cleaner fits on top of it. Anyway good video other then the minor hiccup with left over parts lol.

[@chodge8366]

this is the only thing imo that echo makes thats junk. i got tired of mine not working bought me a battery blower and it works perfect

[@stevoschauer207]

Great video. How is it running before? Mine is bogging down I have to manipulate the choke Do you think a new carburetor would help?

[@tracypadgett2682]

Stevo Schauer check your spark arrester screen on the muffler. Could be clogged up if so just take a wire brush or a blow torch and clean it. Just a suggestion.

[@atxjax1]

The PB250's used two different carbs. This one as in the video and the Walboro WTA-33. Unfortunately mine has the later and it's more expensive. Plus the primer bulbs are different.

[@Trackhoe075]

Jackson Cruz I also have the wta33 could we just replace with the one in the video? Unfortunately we can’t adjust the wta anymore cause they stopped supplying small d tool for the high and low needle

[@atxjax1]

@@Trackhoe075 No sir. The trigger mechanism for the throttle is different. I have seen some of those needle tools on Amazon. I haven't bought one yet but they are available.

[@Trackhoe075]

Jackson Cruz actually I have bought 3 different ones all claiming to have the mini D that’s needed however all have failed! They just spin but no adjustment! I know sometimes they fill either with a plug or sometimes epoxy in hole! The later rendering no chance of adjusting. I am pretty much done myself experimenting! Hell its cost me more then a new carb.. lol I think I’m gonna stick with Stihl they clearly are the best and I guess they trust we are plenty capable of being able to make our own adjustments it’s too bad oh well I’ll find a buyer somewhere or will just part it out! Never will buy Echo again!!!!

[@atxjax1]

@@Trackhoe075 Good to know. Ill have to research and see what can be fabbed up to work. or slice away a small piece of the aluminum from the carb to expose the adjuster.

[@Trackhoe075]

Jackson Cruz I was going to look into doing the same maybe using a drill bit to just make a bigger hole and then maybe get a dremel to slice a slit but it appears to be a very small needle head that has that D shape! I also did a lil research on the needles as well and partstree actually is listening one of them as NA ( not available) I’m done lol like I say Stihl seems to be one of the few left allowing high and low adjustments!! It’s too bad how our society has become a throw away! Yes Stihl cost more but at least ya can work on them! I just hate the idea I have to buy a new carb when it could be something as simple as a adjustment
